Hi, I need to mount a LVM in rescue mode to create a new initrd image. I am not sure how do I fond out which LogVol is to be mounted. How do I find it out? In most of the configs I have used LogVol00 with ext3 filesystem which contains OS install. This particular system is not installed by me and I am not sure how do I find it out. I did try 'lvm lvs' command, but probably that's not the right command here. Any help? -- thanks, neuby.r.

You could try to view /mnt/sysimage/etc/fstab to find the partition types. Regards, W.

The issue seemed to be that the udev rule prevented the detection of the LVM on that RAID completely when it came up as /dev/sdd. The other udev rule in-thread seems to be a possible solution; will be interesting to see if it works.
